seasoned programmers have revolutionized the way we look at web-based
conference calling by developing web platforms that compliment technologies
such as Yahoo! Messenger with Voice to create a more advanced experience
for consumers," said Ben Lilienthal, CEO and co-founder of Vapps. "We used
to look at the conference call as merely a business solution, with the
introduction of services such as ConFreeCall, the landscape has changed to
be a tool for online communities as well.

for us to spread adoption of web-based conference calling as consumers look
to be more connected and have a more advanced online experience," added
